One thing that I like about here....

Even though, there can be some racism or xenophobism against foreigners. The one thing that I really like is that I feel that there are also a lot more people that want to get to know us immigrants compared to America. In America, asian people (no offense) are so clicky. But here, you have online communities of meet ups of english/ japanese groups that have japanese people that want to practice their english and want to meet other immigrants like us. You also have some japanese people post up ads that want to befriend us. I find this to be so cool. I really like how you still have open minded people hence why there is an America Mura in Osaka. I'm worried about finding another japanese language partner when I get back home because I find it much more easier to find it here thanks to mixi and online communities! I also like how in my area there's so much to do that I've been going out alot and been getting my japanese practice on. So yes, I am improving!! Yay. Cheers to that
